Today, I saw a lone house in the countryside
And it reminded me of you
I still see in my mind's eye
You driving across homesteading land
In those wide expanses where glass glints like jewels as you pass by
And the wind rushes to snatch treats from your hand
We crossed those gold and green pastures together
Heading east of the moon in a dazzling blur
To sit in the front porch together in warm and wintry weather
But today this image lingers on like a bad year
What's gone is what we were
Driving down that familiar country road
The wheels turn one last time as if to say:
Don't plow these acres of sorrow...so long...
There's days of sunshine and plenty of rain along the way
And my sadness waved back like golden grain
In fields that stretch as far as the horizon
Of long past summers and summers before where there was no pain
So long ago, I can only drive on till I see the sun rising
On lonely days with distant thunder and open land lit by lightning
. . . . . . .
